Americans are Stuck in the Matrix & How They Can Unplug

“What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life.”
- Morpheus

Is there a part of you that feels like the system has trapped and kept you in a box of its own making? Just like Neo in the 1999 movie The Matrix sensed there was something wrong with his world, many in today's America share his sense of unease about the world and their place in it. Governments, big business, and their lackeys in the press, prefer you stay in the artificial world which they have created, “for your own safety” ...and for their profit. Society's drive for conformity to its boundaries keeps people trapped in their jobs and mortgages, unable to break free from the cycle of work, consumption, and often debt.

“You have a problem with authority, Mr. Anderson. You believe you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you.” - Agent Smith

It seems too many people are too afraid to think for themselves or question authority today. This may be due in part by talking heads who lambaste those whose opinions diverge from the status quo. They tend to castigate anyone daring to express their own thoughts outside of the orthodox group-think. And the “useful idiots” on social media platforms get a fleeting sense of importance as they dox those on the naughty list. It's no wonder why we see so many hesitant about speaking up when you could so easily get canceled, be driven from your job, or worse.

“You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.” - Morpheus

Life is a series of routines that we follow without question. We wake up, go to work every day and pay our mortgage or rent with no thought given toward why these things are imperative in our lives; it's just what you're supposed do when living under this system--a set path for all those who don't stray from their prescribed routes. We don't question anything because there wouldn’t be any point anyway: everything has been planned out by someone else - usually many years before they'll happen!

"I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life." - Thomas Anderson (Neo)

Whether it's Big Government, Big Energy, Big Food or Big Pharma that controls our lives and makes decisions for us without any input whatsoever- even if these corporations are supposed be regulated by law! Even those who think they have a say in what happens around them will be brought into line if it suits the interests of the Monolithic Forces at play. You know you池e a cog in the machine when even city utilities are able to control our lives. They charge whatever they want and we have no choice but take it because there's nothing else on offer for us at this point in time other than the system."

Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill? - Cypher

The idea of not being controlled by our environment, given 都afe・boundaries, is scary for many people. They're afraid that they will be lost or alone in this huge world. But what if I told you there was a way to escape this Matrix of conformity? It doesn't come without sacrifice and hard work. It is not easy, but it's possible to get out of the Matrix. I know because my family and friends are doing just that!

"Get up, Trinity! Get up!" - Trinity

Since the Matrix movies first came out, many have spoken of unplugging. But what does that really mean? For me, it means going off-grid literally unplugging from the power grid, the city's water and sewer systems. That might mean living on an off-grid homestead or a family farm, or maybe it just means producing as much of my own food, water, and power for myself and my family. However you go about it, you move towards self-sufficiency by extracting yourself from the systems created primarily for some politician, bureaucrat or stockholder's benefit and not yours.

"I'll show these people what you don't want them to see. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible." - Neo

When you're off-grid, it's not just about survival. It is a way of life where community comes first and self reliance rules. That means not relying on corporations or government institutions for everything, but instead taking personal responsibility in life and by being part of a real community of family, friends, and neighbors that work together for their mutual benefit. This is the kind world I want to live in!

"You take the red pill - you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." - Morpheus

It's time for Americans wake up from their slumber so they can realize that what seems like reality isn't actually "real" at all but rather just an illusion. And that matrix was created by government officials or big corporations trying hard not let our minds wander too far away from their profitable status quo. I believe the only way out of this Matrix is by being unplugged and going off-grid ・producing all our own life-sustaining food, water and power. Yes, it may be scary, but if you are willing to take the red pill, you can find an off-grid community at https://bit.ly/Exit-The-Matrix, or, you can search for land and water rights at https://bit.ly/LandWatch-com.
